Re: My Virtual volume is at 2TB the maximum for esxi 5.1

that's not really a problem, just create some 1 TB or 2 TB vdisks and use LVM in the guest

the setup below was created 2010 on vSphere 4.1 and now runs on vSphere 5.5
another advantage: you can easily extend the volume group by add another vdisk later
